The N8 is quite the opposite of ground breaking. Just a step up for Nokia. They still stand a fair way behind the I Phone 4 and Galaxy S in terms of screen and navigation quality. It may have a better camera but statistics show a camera is used only 4% of all uses of a phone so surely thats why Apple and Samsung dont worry about it too much. I think there will be a new number 1 and 2 in World Sales within 2 years.

Imran, 21 Dec 2010N8 is highend phone.Galaxys and iphone and nexus are midrange phones.I think you were fooled by the N8 seller...or get your facts corrected about high end & middle range smartphones!!! ;)

Imran, 21 Dec 2010My friend n8 has got 12 mp and usb otg.Ok...I have an N8 as well. I don't think that iPhone or Galaxy S is midrange though. Even if they don't have those 2 features, they still have other good ones that match the N8 or come close. That puts them in the same range.

Greg, 21 Dec 2010The best phone from google is google nexus one from htc!!!!! In the present is very good phone... moreWhat are you talking about? Pre-order prices are always higher than release prices. Nokia N8 did the same thing and if you go one article up, you'll see the Optimus 2X as 550 on pre-order. Bet you it won't stay that way when it releases, this is how the manufacturers do business when releasing their phones.
